A government order in Indian-administered Kashmir on Friday asked tourists and Hindu pilgrims visiting a Himalayan cave shrine "to curtail their stay" in the disputed territory, citing security concerns and intensifying tensions following India's announcement it was sending more troops to the region.

...

The advisory is likely to escalate the tensions in the region, which has been on edge since last week when India announced it was deploying at least 10,000 more soldiers to one of the world's most militarized areas. The troop buildup has sparked fears that New Delhi is planning to scrap an Indian constitutional provision that disallows Indians from buying land in the Muslim-majority region.

ormer chief ministers of Indian-occupied Kashmir (IoK) Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti were placed under house arrest late Sunday night as the Indian government also imposed a curfew.

“As per the order there shall be no movement of public and all educational institutions shall also remain closed,” the Indian government ordered, in a statement obtained by AFP.

Omar Abdullah took to Twitter to say that he was being placed under house arrest and that a similar process had already started for other leaders.

"I believe I’m being placed under house arrest from midnight tonight and the process has already started for other mainstream leaders. No way of knowing if this is true but if it is then I’ll see all of you on the other side of whatever is in store. Allah save us," he wrote on Twitter...

Do you link those different places by religion? and what statement will solve all of their problems?

Article 35A of the constitution allows the legislature of Indian-administered Kashmir to define the state's "permanent residents" and what distinguishes them. It applies to all of Indian-administered Kashmir, including Jammu and Ladakh.

All identified residents are issued a permanent resident certificate, which entitles them to special benefits related to employment, scholarships and other privileges. But the biggest advantage for permanent residents is that only they have the right to own and, therefore, buy, property in the state

A move to strip Jammu and Kashmir of its special status under the Constitution was cleared by the Rajya Sabha on Friday, seven hours after Home Minister Amit Shah introduced a resolution to cancel the provision that had continued to be part of the Constitution for nearly seven decades. The Rajya Sabha also cleared a bill to divide the state into two union territories, one for Ladakh and the second for Jammu and Srinagar regions.

The Indian government, he said, is tabling a bill to reorganise the state. Under the plan, the state shall immediately cease to exist. The region would be divided into two Union Territories. Ladakh, which is a vast region, but sparsely populated by Buddhists and Muslims, will be a separate unit with no legislative body.

While some Ladakhis have long demanded Union Territory status, it has finally come, but it has also taken away their democratic rights of representation.

The second unit will be Jammu and Kashmir, which will have a legislature, but this legislature would have very limited powers. In the Indian system, the Union Territories have a status below the states. UTs typically have no control over “law and order” which means, for instance, that the Jammu and Kashmir Police will cease to exist. More significantly, UTs also have no control over land, which means the Indian government will determine how land is to be used or settled in Kashmir.

This is the sum of all the fears that Kashmiris have been articulating through their protests and resistance for the last seventy years.

.. And that guy apparently is elected member of parliament from Ladakh India and let every Pakistan corner do what that guy from Ladakh did in that Indian Parliament ., Pakistan IS NOT just east Punjab.....Pakistan is NOT JUST ISLAM.. it is more than that. The people .. the country must realize that ... try to work hard to make BORDER LESS CONTINENT From Bangladesh to Persia including way to Afghanistan., Let the faith "Islam" is personal.. NOT political and let the faith Islam solely depend on Quran not stupid silly nonsense stories from hadith.....

Moeed I am not sure how you got doctorate degree .. but you are NOT using common sense ., what Indians did is smartly KEEPING THAT SIMLA agreement as such but splitting the state in to three parts ..Kashmir Valley., Jammu....and Laddakh.

If people of Valley doesn't like that Indians will go back to resolution 365 and that will be ONLY to Kashmir Valley., and on top of that they will also add Pakistani Occupied Kashmir + Galgit in to that resolution 365., They effectively killed two birds with one stroke . People of Jammu will like what India did and people of Laddakh will like that having their own union territory or even a Statehood

Kashmir Valley may not like that but watch what that Laddakh member of parliament of India saying..

dr. . Moeed Pirzada watch what that guy did in Indian Parliament., That is what elected members of Pakistan states from Baluchistan., NWFP., AJK and Galgit elected members need to speak in PAKISTANI PARLIAMENT ................. ELECTED NOT SELECTED..........

Pakistan is NOT just Punjab and and small part of Sind that is ruled by Bhutto/Zardaris .. It is not just Lahore...Faisalabad... Karachi ., The fools talking on Pak TV does not seem to realize religious demography of Jammu and Laddakh., Indians did very smart thing separating Jammu..Laddakh from Kashmir Valley .. and on top of all this 1. India itself has More Muslim folks than Pakistan., 2nd we know what happened in East Pakistan.. that became Bangladesh ... the only way to beat India in their games is the way Pak Army payed in 90s and until 2005 or so ... THE RELIGIOUS GAME...

So now there is no use., In fact Indians are going to claim that Galgit and Pakistan occupied Kashmir for applying their resolution 365

Now dr. Moeed Pirzada Sahab on your TV time... at least make people of Pakistan to learn .. the culture and the languages of each state in the country as you see in the above picture ., Land wise as well as RESOURCES WISE Pakistan is still bigger than countries like Turkey, France, Sweden, Japan, Germany Italy..etc... So Let us make present Pakistan Stronger and better in economy and EDUCATION under Imran Khan., And let us make Faith as Personal relation with Allah., Not a relation with fuckinh Mullhas and shouting brutal crowd that kill people in the name of Blasphemy ., I tell you Moeed Pirzada .. Allah forbid if something Happens to Imran Khan even PTI will fall like sand castle . THERE ARE NO LEADERS IN PAKISTAN So time is short ..

with best wishes.....

taking a mini-break from solely identifying as british muslims, some have decided to remember their land of origin by working themselves up into an emotional state.

Quote from:

Of the 1.1 million British Pakistanis, more than one million originate from the part of Kashmir governed by Pakistan.

While there are no official figures for the number of Indian Kashmiris in Britain, the overall British Indian community numbers almost 1.4 million and support for India&#8217;s position is strong among some sections.

Quote from:

&#8220;It&#8217;s a very sensitive issue for both communities and I&#8217;m worried that it could damage relations between the two. We have to make sure that whatever we do, it does not spill over into unrest or hatred between British Indians and Pakistanis,&#8221; said Raja Sikander Khan, a London-based campaigner on Kashmir human rights.

Thousands of people have been detained in Indian-occupied Kashmir over fears of unrest since New Delhi stripped the restive region of its autonomy two weeks ago, government sources told AFP.

A magistrate, speaking to AFP on condition of anonymity, said that at least 4,000 people were arrested and held under the Public Safety Act (PSA), a controversial law that allows authorities to imprison someone for up to two years without charge or trial.

“Most of them were flown out of Kashmir because prisons here have run out of capacity,” the magistrate said, adding that he had used a satellite phone allocated to him to collate the figures from colleagues across the Himalayan territory amid a communications blackout imposed by authorities.

Indian economist and Nobel laureate Amartya Sen has slammed the Narendra Modi-led government's decision to revoke occupied Kashmir's special status, saying that India had "lost the reputation" of being the world's first non-Western country to adopt a democratic system.

“As an Indian, I am not proud of the fact that India, after having done so much to achieve a democratic norm in the world, where India was the first non-Western country to go for democracy, that we lose that reputation on the grounds of action that have been taken,” he said in an interview with NDTV on Monday night......

Sen said that the decision to allow non-Kashmiris to buy property in the region should have been left for the Kashmiri residents because "it is their land".

"That is something for the Kashmiris to determine [...] If that is the will that the Kashmiris have on democratic grounds, we can accept it."

"This is something in which Kashmiris have a legitimate point of view because it is their land," he added.

He also criticised the imposition of a lockdown — that has been in place for over two weeks — in the occupied region as well as the arrests of Kashmiri leaders under the pretext of preventing violent protests in the valley, calling it a “colonial excuse”.

"That’s how the British ran the country for 200 years. The last thing that I expected when we got our independence.....is that we would go back to our colonial heritage of preventive detentions."....

well that is the news on Kashmir....
